The DEVGRU (and possibly the others) snap apart at the hip (basically two parts). I think this is identical to the Paratroopers but makes bashing very easy. I made the mistake of thinking the night vison belt came apart (like previous BBI figures)... Whoops. I broke it. So, don't attempt to unsnap i...

Chicagoland recon?

I stopped at the N Riverside and Downers Grove TRU... Nothing new to speak of except the Old Crows.


Let me know if anyone else around CHICAGO has seen hide nor hair of the new ones.

BBI

I know the new weapon sets are out because I have two sets of them! I think the pictures of the SFOR Kiowa verifies its existence. I think its interesting too that everywhere I go, there are several std Woodland Camo HUMVEEs where there weren't before. They don't appear to be anything new. MIKE: we ...

Are we confident this isn't poor info? I mean, no other verifiable sightings of the figures ANYWHERE makes me scratch my head and wonder... Although the two new posts on BBI site seem to support a new wave of modern folks... Anyway, anyone who gets pictures up will be high on my list!

Actually, there is a 1:18 B-17 (or before Katrina, there WAS one) in the gift shop of the DDAY museum in New Orleans. It was a solid wood model done by an artist but it was for sale and 1:18 scale. Very cool. I think it went for $795 and was 3 solid parts.

ATTENTION: SMALL BLUE PLANET GOING OUT OF BUSINESS

I just got this email announcing what appears to be their "going out of business sale" as of 9/30/05. Needless to say, I am very bummed about the 1:18 SS that I pre-ordered (which was pre-paid). Seeking imemdiate refund for that! The only 1:18 I see on line looks like a pilot for $1.19. ------------...

Word up

I agree with Mustang. Let's go easy on BBI. Remember, our rants and flames don't make any of the production lines go any faster. Despite Mike's reservations on certain things, I have appreciated the candid remarks on much more than we have gotten in the past. October seems a reasonable time to wait ...
